Expert evaluation of ChatGPT-generated responses to patient questions in conventional and fast-track total knee arthroplasty
Background: Fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) asks patients to understand early mobilization, early discharge, opioid-sparing analgesia, and selective use of drains and catheters. We evaluated expert-rated quality of ChatGPT responses to patient questions about these pathway-specific concepts alongside conventional TKA questions. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional evaluation, three arthroplasty surgeons independently scored responses to 50 conventional TKA and 20 investigator-developed fast-tr…
Three arthroplasty surgeons rated ChatGPT's answers to patient questions about knee replacement, including fast-track pathway concepts, at or near the top of the scale for accuracy, completeness, safety and readability.
The data do not establish equivalence between question sets: the sets were selected differently, scores clustered at the maximum, and the fast-track ratings need source-data verification.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1547 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
